Founded by William J. Riley in 1906, New Balance started small, producing highly flexible, three-point arch supports for those that suffered discomfort wearing shoes, all inspired by the daily balancing acts performed by Williams’ own backyard chickens as they nimbly navigated the coop. Chasing supportive, innovative comfort from the moment it was born over a century ago, New Balance would become a sporting shoe manufacturer of import among both athletes and basketballers, loved for its specialist footwear.
Rolling on to 1972, under new owner Jim Davis, New Balance foresaw a shift in the market. Hoping to ride the wave of casual style and streetwear, they began a push for leisure time products and comfy, all-day pieces that would eventually be sought-after from coast to coast and beyond, all renowned for their quality and comfort. From retro-inspired icons such as the 327 and 420 to the newer Fresh Foam cushioning technology pieces of today, New Balance has never stopped developing and has a deep collection of classic leather and suede silhouettes that will always look and feel superb.

574
Nail the fundamentals and the success story writes itself. In the 80s, New Balance had a few premium performance runners making their way across the market, and buoyed by their success, designed a hybrid shoe for the expanding lifestyle audience. They borrowed from the 575 and 576, pulling out all the best bits and producing something that was more than the sum of its parts. There was no big advertising campaign, no fanfare, but this shoe hit the sweet spot in a way not many had done before, offering supreme ENCAP comfort and traction to its rapidly expanding audience of enthusiasts. Standing the test of time like few others, it was over 15 years into its life before any re-designs were even considered, and the 574 is one of, if not the most iconic of NB’s shoes. If you’re looking to have a bit of NB history on your feet, you’ll find all manner of modernised silhouettes and new colourways to achieve your own comfy daily style.
